"I hope they will keep enthusiasm for this match, whether they watch it on TV or in the stadium."

It will be the fourth time the Italian Super Cup has been played on foreign soil after the United States hosted it in both 1993 and 2003, and Libya in 2002.

The Super Cup will be played at the Beijing Olympics venue - the Bird's Nest stadium - both sides hope to produce a performance worthy of the venue.

"Everything in the stadium is impressive and I believe it will be an unforgettable match," Lazio team manager Maurizio Manzini said.

"The stadium became known to the whole world during the Beijing Games. We are looking forward to playing our best game there on Aug 8."

Inter won the previous edition of the cup against Lazio's city-rivals Roma in 2008, defeating the Giallorossi in a penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw and Mourinho is determined to defend the title with the strongest line-up possible, including two new signings Diego Milito and Thiago Motta.
